Open the door to the great wilderness! Khao Kheow Open Zoo.

Embark on an adventure and get up close with wildlife, where kids can become real explorers.

Khao Kheow Open Zoo is not just a place to view animals; it’s a vast kingdom of nature where you and your little ones can drive (or ride a golf cart) to experience wildlife from around the world up close! The zoo emphasizes open natural spaces, allowing children to learn through real-life experiences that are far more exciting than watching on a screen.

Get ready and see what unmissable adventures await at Khao Kheow!

Exciting activities that will make kids go "Wow!"

The highlight of Khao Kheow is the "Animal Feeding" activity available at various spots, offering kids a chance to get closer to their four-legged friends like never before.

Up-close feeding missions in the Open Zone. This is what makes Khao Kheow unique! You can purchase food (carrots, long beans) and drive through different zones to feed animals roaming freely along the fences.

Feed the giraffes. Hand-feed these tall and majestic creatures for an exciting and adorable experience.

Feed the pygmy hippos (Bouncy and family). Stop by to see the cuteness of 'Bouncy,' the superstar pygmy hippo, and its family while feeding them delicious treats.

Feed deer and rhinos. Get close to these hoofed animals and capture fun memories with them.

Penguin Parade. A crowd-pleasing activity that brings smiles and cheers from kids!

Watch the adorable Humboldt penguins as they waddle along their designated parade route, showcasing their charming walk and swimming skills up close. Performances are usually scheduled in the morning and afternoon, so check the times before your visit.

Elephant Swimming Show. A rare underwater viewing experience!

Watch elephants swim as they gracefully dive and glide in a large pool through a clear glass window. Kids will be amazed to see how these massive land animals can move so elegantly in water.

Night Safari. For families seeking adventure after sunset.

Experience nocturnal wildlife and the unique nighttime atmosphere. Ride through the zoo to observe animals active at night, such as owls, deer, and some predators. (Available only on Fridays, Saturdays, Sundays, and public holidays.)

Tips for the best trip!

Getting around. The zoo is vast! You can choose to drive your own car, rent a golf cart for a more convenient and fun experience, or take the zoo’s tram service to explore and stop at feeding spots freely.

Dress comfortably. Since it’s an open zoo, wear breathable clothing, a hat, and apply sunscreen.

Bring water and snacks. While there are shops available, having water and snacks in the car can keep kids happy during visits to distant zones.

Check show schedules. The elephant and penguin showtimes may change, so check the latest schedule on the zoo’s website or social media page before your visit.

Khao Kheow Open Zoo is a giant outdoor classroom where your kids can truly "experience" and "learn" about the lives of animals on this planet. It’s a family trip filled with knowledge, excitement, and unforgettable memories that will last a lifetime!
